There are just some stupid things that you only do once. I, for example, will never again mix and match yarn destined to be felted. Remember Aaron’s slippers? I finally finished them and gave him instructions on felting them. He sent me this photo today.
Seems the recycled red wool I was trying to destash doesn’t [...]
My brother took a road trip last weekend that brought him to our doorstep (dockstep? boatstep?). Then a couple days later, Big Aaron dropped it. We had a great visit with both, Brian leaving on Sunday, Aaron yesterday. And silly me, I didn’t get a single photo!
Busy at work, PMSing and slightly stressed. Consequently, not [...]
Yesterday I ripped the seat out of my jeans. This wasn’t unexpected — I’d noticed the very thin spot next to the pocket but was hoping to eke out a few more washings. Not just because I’m my father’s daughter (read: a cheapskate), but because these were my ‘fat’ jeans. These were the jeans that [...]

What can I say about the 4th of July except to say I’m glad it’s over. Hubbo had to keep reminding me “It’s only one day of the year.” And I did have a great day, in spite of the rudeness of others.
We had a lovely breakfast at our favorite place, Anchorage 5 on Gate [...]
When Hubbo’s son Ian asked when he and his girlfriend should come for a visit, Hubbo said the week of June 18-23 would be perfect. Um . . . hello? Maybe ask the gal who has a nasty deadline to deal with? Of course that is the absolute worst week they could have chosen, as [...]
